✨ Nourish Your Joints with Homemade Bone Broth ✨

One of the most traditional healing foods… and for good reason.
Bone broth is rich in minerals, collagen, and amino acids that support joint health, gut health, immune function and overall vitality.

It’s simple, nourishing and incredibly versatile.

🥕 Ingredients
• 1kg beef bones OR 2 chicken carcasses + 500g extra chicken bones (wings, legs or neck) – organic if possible
• 1 onion
• 2 carrots
• 2 celery sticks
• 3 bay leaves
• 1 tsp peppercorns
• 2–3 garlic cloves
• 1–2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Water

🍲 Method

1️⃣ If using fresh bones, roast them in the oven at 180°C for 30 minutes first (this adds amazing flavour). If using leftover roast bones, simply pop them straight into the pot.

2️⃣ Roughly chop the veggies and add to a large pot or slow cooker with the garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns and apple cider vinegar.

3️⃣ Add water to cover everything and bring to a boil.

4️⃣ Reduce to a gentle simmer and cook:
• Chicken: 12–24 hours
• Beef: 24–48 hours

Skim off any froth that rises to the top. You can top up with water if needed.

5️⃣ Once finished, cool and strain the broth. Season with a little sea salt.

6️⃣ Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

🌿 How to enjoy it
• Sip it warm as a healing tonic
• Add miso, ginger, herbs or shallots for extra flavour
• Use as a base for soups, curries and casseroles
• Cook grains like risotto in it for a nutrition boost

A beautiful, traditional way to support your body from the inside out.

💛 Have you tried making bone broth before?

True Story! 🤣

🍷➡️💧 Wednesday Wellness (with Water 😅)

Schedules didn’t align. Wine didn’t make it.
But the wellness chat? Absolutely did.

This week we shared 3 Honest Truths About Inflammation — and let’s just say… it’s not just about sore knees and swollen ankles.

Here’s the gist:

🔥 Truth #1: Not all inflammation is bad.
It’s protective. It’s intelligent. It’s your body doing its job.

🔥 Truth #2: Chronic, low-grade inflammation is sneaky.
Brain fog. PMS that’s worse than it used to be. 3am wake-ups. Puffy fingers. “Why do I react to everything now?”

🔥 Truth #3: You can’t out-supplement an inflamed lifestyle.
Stress. Sleep. Gut health. Blood sugar. They all matter.

We recorded this one “at work” (read: slightly less glam, slightly more practical, still very chatty).

If you’ve been feeling a bit inflamed in ways you can’t quite explain… this one’s worth a watch.

Drop a 🔥 below if inflammation has shown up in your life in ways you didn’t expect.

Leaked fish entrails anyone? 🐟🤢😂

So imagine my absolute DELIGHT arriving home from work last night… to a freezer FULL of iced fish guts.

Yes. A whole frozen treasure chest of entrails.

It was bin night, so apparently it was time to “reclaim fridge space.” I will say… points to the boys for being smart enough to freeze them instead of letting them marinate in the wheelie bin for two weeks in the Aussie sun. Growth. We love to see it. 🙌

BUT.

Double bagging?
Not enough.
The bag had split.
It had leaked.
It had… spread.

There I was, pouring hot water over frozen, stuck-on fish guts, questioning my life choices. The SMELL. Oh.My.Goodness. I nearly needed hazard pay.

And then…

Enter the hero of the moment. ✨🍋

LEMON OIL.

I was not conservative. I was not restrained. I was liberal with the drops like I was baptising the freezer in citrus salvation. Wiped it EVERYWHERE. Every corner. Every crevice. Every traumatic memory.

This morning I opened the freezer with fear in my heart…

And what did I smell?

LEMON.

Not “hint of fish.”
Not “lemon-fish fusion.”
Just glorious, clean, sanity-saving LEMON.

All hail the beautiful bottle of freezer-saving divine oil. 🍋👑
